do the marker lights light up normal??? or does it blow a fuse when you turn them on???

Hmm, you know I'm also having an issue like this. the only difference is that I have checked all the fuses and they are all good

. I tried swapping out the flasher relay and still the same. The lights turn on, Very dim on the cluster, but the turn signals and the hazards don't work. Any help would be appreciated

lights all work. headlights, parkign lights..... everythign but the turn signals. i replace teh fuse, try to signal once and it goes "CLICK" and thats it, check the fuse again and its blown.

exactly happened to me before but for my brake lights. I found out my brake light wires that came from brake pedal (above brade pedal) tore up. I taped wires connected and no more fuse blew up since.

so maybe check the turn signal switch wires.

first off, make sure all wiring is not missing insulation and touching metal, second make sure grounds are ok. or u just might have bad wiring.

Oh yeah, also check your blinker fluid... sounds like it is low which causes fuses to blow. Man! I can't believe I forgot to tell you that, sorry Mikey

If you can't find it at Autozone, here is a link for ya.

Try to up the ampreage by a step, other then that, you will have to trace the wiring all the way back... YECK

I was going to post about the Blinker Fluid, but I see I have been beaten to the punch.

If you can find the Mugen stuff, it works a lot better than the Mobil 1.

Well I seem to still be having this issue :"(, I don't know what else to do... The last thing I did was change the cluster took it out for a drive and bam, no more signals. The switch to dim the lights and turn on the dome light doesn't work either. Is it maybe the multifunction switch thats gone to verga or what?

unplug multifuncation wire off and see if it's burned.

but I had simple like yours except for brake light, it turned out brake light wire behind the brade pedal, so I dunno what else to say but check wires.

The end where it plugs into the MFS is a little burned, looks a little melted and on the brown side, not too bad though. Could that be the problem? Like I said its not too bad but eh maybeh?

yes, that is the problem... you need new pigtails, sorry man -- go to a junkyard first, but other than that they are not cheap. ALso check the for sale post here.
